This rant blog will be short and sweet (unlike anything else I ever write).
I like my facial hair. I hate shaving it off cause I like the look. My hair is a darker brown color. When my beard is short and stubbly, it grows in the same color.
When my beard grows beyond the 5 o'clock shadow style, it turns red. What the fuck. Then other parts of it grow like a sandy blonde.
My beard grows in like a fucking hairy rainbow, except without all the nice colors and only hair colors.
God dammit.
Edit: yes I know, lack of pictures. I'm at work, and will be sure and update when I get home. Then we can all share in different-color-facial-hair misery together.
i get the red blond ones only in the middle of my chin/underlip(soul patch area?) dark brown hair. dark brown beard everywhere else. random red right front and center.... wtf indeed!
i have the issue that whenever i grow a beard the mustache area grows at like a quarter the pace of the rest of the face. still one time i'll be patient enough to let that grow too before i shave it all off

Bahahahaha. That made me crack up.
The reason there are no pictures is because work is fucking SLOOOOOOOOW and will be until August - I can't just start taking pictures, I'm supposed to be looking like I'm busy.
oh wow as I type that my boss walks in. Hahaha.
I'll edit some in when I get home in a few hours.
Now that Chill has posted his dilemma, I can live with dark brown w/ reddish beard. His, I would be even more distraught over.

omg this is exactly what happens to me lol. but my mother is a red head so it explains a bit.
Dude Beards are so fucking cool it doesn't matter what color they are. I Just hate my Moustache, it like an anti-toothbrush it doesn't grow in the middle...

My soul patch is fine, I think. I just get it at the...uh...corners, I guess. Like if you drew a line from the corner of your lip, straight down, that's where all my reddish/brown is.
Thankfully it's more like auburn and not Manifesto red, then it'd stick out even more. :p
If I grow my beard for more than a week it turns ginger, fuck! Which is strange because I don't have any ginger hairs on the rest of my body... Have been trimming it like once a week for years, but I'm thinking about growing a longass beard this summer, just for the hell of it. It might even look cool if I'm lucky. Otherwise the ginger hair has gotta go :-D

That's exactly the same as me! I wonder how common this is.... We might be distantly related :-D
I may have just discovered my family tree's missing link on the forums.
Long lost brothers with brown hair and red facial hair, unite!!
Maybe we're all just vikings and when the time comes, our red colored beards will grow at an alarmingly quick rate, grow down to our bellies and twist themselves into epic braids, and we will all be drawn to a Dragon Ship where we will take over our native Nordic lands together and plunder the northern seas.

BURN THE VILLAGES! SALT THE FIELDS!
Ever read 'The Long Ships' by Frans G. Bengtsson?
The main character almost magically sprouts a beard when he becomes an oar slave.

Also when you change your name to VileIllusion, everyone is gonna be confused because everyone thinks your name is a play on "Revolution" and doesn't know that rev was your tag.
I'm starting to think I'm not destined for facial hair.. Zlasher tried to catch it on fire once, then the korean lady at the BBQ place...then on top of that it's like "Fuck it I'm gonna be whatever color I want, YOU CANT CONTROL ME, DAD."
SHUT UP HAIR I GREW YOU.
Seriously, when I look in the mirror, I start singing...
Bearded rainbow all the way acrossss my ffaaaaaaace. YEAH YEAAAAH ITS A BEARDED RAINBOW.
My beard does the same shit, it will have some hint of red in it after some growth. I think it has to do with the sun, but I really wouldn't know. I wish it matched the hair on my head more when it does that.
However, there is a severe lack of beard pictures, so I will supplant one of my most recent ones.
At my school's LAN party (of which I am the tournament organizer): + Show Spoiler +
One of the reasons I always shave is because my facial hair turns blond from black randomly around the chin area, it's annoying. I don't complain too much though as I think I look better without facial hair anyways.
FFS tell me about it. I have this ANNOYING AS FUCK LITTLE MOUSTACHE on my lower abdomen. I shave and shave and shave, and it won't leave me alone. IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY! Facial hair is pretty faint, but still visible. I'm black so: it grows black, gets black and falls off black xD
Unless you're asian. I always crack up when Gilette commercials show up on Proleague's TV stations, I've never seen an asian male with a beard.
Actually I think in ancient china pretty much everyone influential wore a beard and I believe if you didn't, it was sorta frowned upon same as if a businessman wore a scruff to work. Not entirely sure though.
I can't fucking believe this blog post, it's like twilight zone but I don't know for sure as I didn't really watch that show. It's like paranormal zone today, when the stuff that makes your day suddenly appears on mediums you don't have any control over, like television and internets. I took my busted hair trimmer made in china and I've let my 15 day beard rape it.. it took me 10 minutes. That was about 5 o clock in the afternoon. At about 2pm I went to eat something and then to the barber to cut my hair. The conversation topic was of course my beard. The lady thought it's weard that my hair is dark brown while my beard is red, could be something genetically inherited she said. Then she asks 'You know who has this kind of beard?' I say no, she says 'the jews'. I say well not really, vikings had red beards too, you know about Eric der Rote.. and she's like yeah, yeah bla bla. She messed up my haircut so bad and I tipped her anyway.. should have remembered what Mr. Pink had to say about tipping, he's right it shouldn't be automatic. On the long way home walking with a limp as my ankle still isn't fit.. everybody fucking stares at me. I hate that shit so I did what I had to do and took the beard off. My brother has a red beard too and some guy I know also .. he's a male nurse so I guess not everybody with a red beard is worth uniting with. But that's just the exception so !Red Beards unite!

Haha, mine's blonde -> dark brown -> blonde and grey, kinda got used to it by now. If only it also grew on my left side of the face as it does on the right side (yeah, really asymmetric) I would never shave. This way it's off every 6-12 months, randomly, when I am not lazy, I hate shaving.
i have light/medium brown hair and when i dont shave for a couple days, the color of the stubble actually matches my hair... any longer and it turns blonde O_O weirds me out every time so i eventually just say fuck it and shave it all off :|
Also my kitchen is really dark in the background. My camera is bad but apparently the red doesn't really show. But the blonde and the dark brown / black are easy to see :p
I don't think I've seen anyone out and about with different colored facial hair, but the waves of people that are in my blog are reassuring me that I'm not a freak of nature.
Or at least I'm not alone in being a freak of nature. <3

I am no beard enthusiast.
In fact, I don't take care of it because my beard doesn't take care of me by growing in so many different colors!!
Seems like you did draw some short straw somewhere, because most people have some blonde, black, or red hair in their otherwise usually dark brown/black beard. though only marginally so, so unless you go in there with a magnifying glass you probably won't notice.
my girlfriend of once was eytremely curious on the subject of different colored beard hair(i have some very lonely blonde and red specimens in mine) and even managed to find a completely transparent one on me some time ago, while she was rummaging through it while i was occupied watching tv...she went on to pull it out with tweezers in order to preserve it for science, which wasnt completely pleasant tbh.
+1 for beards, eventhough i'm not a fan of your beard style. Wear your haircolored rainbow with pride :p
My beard tends to turn more to the red when i let it grow longer, usually it's more of a light brown. I even have a completely white spot directly under the lip (though luckily it's very small)
